NIAGARA FALLS. Jan 13.
Over 223, 900 cubic yards of limestone and
slate rock has fallen out of the bank of Mag
ara river, near Horseshoe falls, on the Cana
dian side. The mass fell with tremendous
crash, which was heard and felt for miles
around. The break has considerably changed
the appearance of the bank, and now dark
chasm can be seen behind the falls from the
bank above.
The mass of rock detached was 60 feet wide
by over 100 long and l70 feet deep. Its fall
from the main rock has left perpindicular
wall. The immense weight of ice which had
accumulated during the past three weeks,
with steady frosty weather and low water,
was the cause of the break.
